Access Control

Child care centers need access control for controlling
both children and parents to ensure child safety at each
child or day care center. Having a secure child care
facility is an important factor in a parents search for a
child care center for their children.

Access Control Considerations

In your search for the best access control system for
your child or day care center, there are a number of factors
that you must take into consideration before making a choice
of which access control system will be the best for your
child care center.

The proper access control for a child care center will
ensure that only authorized individuals may have both the
door and child released for entry and exit.

Five Access Control Questions:

Do you simply want to enable any authorized person
entry to a common area using a single common code for all,
or do you wish to have individual codes for each and every
person?

If different codes are desired for everyone, how many
codes will you need?

Is the access control keypad going to be located outdoors
or indoors where weather, vandalism, and lighting are not a
necessary consideration?

Is it necessary to have the access control keypad
connected to a computer, or can it be a "free-standing" unit
called a "Stand-Alone" device that is used to release a
locked door?

Is security a primary concern for an outside perimeter
entry door, or is it an interior door that you want
controlled to restrict entry into the classroom?

Stand Alone or P.C. Connected Access Control

A door release can be controlled from either a
keypad that is or is not connected to a computer for
automatic time and attendance tracking, if desired, for
parents, children, and staff with appropriate add-on
software.
